I want to tell you about Renee'
Renee' and I met on-line a few years ago She was diagnosed with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL)
which is the same leukemia as my father had before he passed away.
I am living with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CML) my leukemia hasn't been cured yet but it is under control.
So I knew some of what Renee' was going through.
She would have moods swings and so many ups and downs.
She lived in Texas and I am in Melbourne, Australia we never met in real life
but everyday when Renee' was well enough we would talk on-line.
I always had a way of cheering her up even when her best friend Jillian and her family couldn't.
Last year as she lay in her hospital bed I would take my camera out with me when I would go somewhere
so she could come along too.
A simple walk, bike ride and drives I would show she what I did on that day.
We would talk about everything and for a few hours a day she could dream and be free.
We all knew she was dying but I never ever gave up hope.
Renee' passed away in October last year.
She made and sent me this video and I cry everytime I watch it.
As much as it hurts to lose someone we have to remember how blessed we are to have loved them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hryxnR4YMGI&feature=plcp
